himself coz of this event but as soon as he finished the last chip, he
gave in

Park Yoochun’s
court battle of 18 months has come to an end, with the second woman
(hereafter referred to as “B”) who claimed she had been sexually
assaulted by Park Yoochun receiving a final ruling of not guilty for
alleged false accusation and defamation.

Park Yoochun has been in and out of the
courtroom since June 2016, after he was accused of sexual assault by
four women. The actor and singer was found not guilty on all four
counts.

He then pursued legal action against the
first woman who claimed he sexual assaulted her; she, as well as the two
men that assisted her in blackmailing Park Yoochun, received prison sentences ranging from 18 to 24 months for false accusation and attempted blackmail.

B was also sued for false accusation and
defamation, for which she received a ruling of not guilty in both her
first and second trials.

Though the prosecution filed for an
appeal on the verdict, the supreme court revealed on December 22 that
they denied the request, solidifying the not guilty ruling for B and
putting an end to an 18-month-long legal battle.

JYJYoochun's appeal against the second woman who accused him of sexual assault has been denied by the court. Seoul's High Court found the accuser, Ms. Song, not guilty of defamation of character and making false charges this past September,
and though Yoochun's side filed an appeal, the court denied the request
on December 22. This ends an 18-month legal battle against Ms. Song,
who was found not guilty of defamation of character in her previous two
trials.

The first woman who claimed Yoochun sexually assaulted
her and the two men who was involved in extorting the JYJ member have
been sentenced to prison for making false accusations and attempted
blackmail.

Yoochun was found not guilty of four counts of sexual assault in December of 2015.allkpop

Fans
of the South Korean singer Kim Jong-hyun were in mourning on Tuesday, a
day after he killed himself and left behind a note that said he was
overcome by depression, South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency reported.

Fans
of the singer, who was 27 and known by his stage name Jonghyun, flocked
to pay their respects or set up vigils on outside of Asan Medical
Center in Seoul, where he was taken to the hospital on Monday and
pronounced dead, the news agency reported.

The
police in Gangnam, where Mr. Kim’s body was discovered by his sister in
an apartment, said there would be no autopsy because it seemed “clear
that the deceased took his own life.”

Yonhap
reported that the singer had sent a text message to his sister saying,
“Please let me go. Tell me I did well” and “final farewell.” It also
quoted an Instagram post from Jang Hee-yeon, a friend and the lead
singer of the rock group Dear Cloud, that said Jonghyun had written to
her about his struggles with depression.

“I’m
broken from the inside. The depression that has slowly nibbled me away
has now devoured me, and I couldn’t overcome it,” he wrote, according to
her Instagram post.

The
singer also appeared to regret his life in the public spotlight, Yonhap
reported. “Becoming famous was probably not my life. They tell me
that’s why I’m having a hard time … Why did I choose that? It’s funny
that I’m able to endure this much.”

Mr.
Kim performed both as a solo artist and with the group SHINee, which
exemplified the genre known as K-pop, known for its elaborate
choreography, fashionable, skin-baring outfits and different vocal
styles.

“The
online community really came together to share their grief,” Jeff
Benjamin, the K-pop columnist for Billboard and digital editor for Fuse
TV, said in an interview on Tuesday.

Fueled
by the rise of social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram and
YouTube, K-pop groups have grown in popularity, managing to transcend
borders, despite language barriers, to spread in Europe, the Middle East
and the Americas.

Mr.
Kim’s death leaves the loss of an artist unique in the genre. SHINee,
founded in 2008 with a rhythm and blues sound, remained unusual because
its five members stayed together for so long. “SHINee were the exception
to the rule,” Mr. Benjamin said in an interview on Tuesday.

Mr.
Kim, unlike many K-pop stars who branch off into multifaceted endeavors
such as fashion and acting, remained focused on music as a singer,
songwriter and producer, a rare combination in 2008, Mr. Benjamin said.

In
2016, Mr. Kim released a solo album called “She Is,” which Mr. Benjamin
described as a “fascinating” range of pop music, including an
Elvis-type crooning.

“He had a piercing belt that I would instantly recognize,” Mr. Benjamin said. “It is definitely an accomplished work.”

This year, SHINee toured the United States for the first time. In an interview with CNN in May after performing in Dallas, Los Angeles and Canada, Mr. Kim said:

“We’ve
come to the U.S. for fan meets before, but concerts make me a bit more
nervous and excited. I hope our fans will be able to make great memories
with us through the music and performances we show on stage.”

I believe everyone experiences emotional instability, All have unique
ways to overcome it. Photography was therapeutic for me. After seeing
enlarged prints of my photos became more ambitious. This variety show
may be an opportunity for me to change my mundane daily life. #김재중via crystalmoon0213

JYJ's Jaejoong opened up about his feelings on appearing in his first variety show in 8 years.On the December 18th premiere of the reality variety show 'Photo People', Jaejoong expressed, "I've
appeared in a variety show for the first time in 8 years. I'm glad that
I get to do it with people I'm comfortable with. I felt a lot of
pressure in terms of being on a variety show and taking photographs."He continued, "It's
a completely different world. It's not about taking a lot of photos, I
felt that it was important to communicate with each other and bringing
my expression together. I got contacted a lot by professional
photographers, and my photos were featured in 'Vogue Korea'. I can't even believe it myself, but that's how good my photos were."allkpop
